Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
005:009 And now they sing a new song. "It is fitting," they say,
"that Thou shouldst be the One to take the book And break
its seals; Because Thou hast been offered in sacrifice,
And hast purchased for God with Thine own blood Some out
of every tribe and language and people and nation,
005:010 And hast formed them into a Kingdom to be priests to
our God, And they reign over the earth."
005:011 And I looked, and heard what seemed to be the voices of countless
angels on every side of the throne, and of the living
creatures and the Elders. Their number was myriads of myriads
and thousands of thousands,
005:012 and in loud voices they were singing, "It is fitting that
the Lamb which has been offered in sacrifice should receive
all power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and
glory and blessing."
005:013 And as for every created thing in Heaven and on earth and under
the earth and on the sea, and everything that was in any of these,
I heard them say, "To Him who is seated on the throne,
And to the Lamb, Be ascribed all blessing and honor And glory
and might, Until the Ages of the Ages!"
005:014 Then the four living creatures said "Amen," and the Elders
fell down and worshipped.
006:001 And when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals I saw it,
and I heard one of the four living creatures say, as if in
a voice of thunder, "Come."
006:002 And I looked and a white horse appeared, and its rider
carried a bow; and a victor's wreath was given to him;
and he went out conquering and in order to conquer.
006:003 And when the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second
living creature say, "Come."
006:004 And another horse came out--a fiery-red one; and power was given
to its rider to take peace from the earth, and to cause men
to kill one another; and a great sword was given to him.
006:005 When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, "Come." I looked, and a black horse appeared,
its rider carrying a balance in his hand.
006:006 And I heard what seemed to be a voice speaking in the midst
of the four living creatures, and saying, "A quart of wheat
for a shilling, and three quarts of barley for a shilling;
but do not injure either the oil or the wine."
006:007 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal I heard the voice of
the fourth living creature say, "Come."
006:008 I looked and a pale-colored horse appeared. Its rider's name
was Death, and Hades came close behind him; and authority
was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
with the sword or with famine or pestilence or by means
of the wild beasts of the earth.
